Good afternoon! A 5-year-old child was prescribed the antibiotic sumamed 200 5 ml for 5 days, can it be taken for 5 days? Because the instructions indicate 3 days. Do I need to check with my doctor again

Yes, the doctor will determine the dosage depending on the diagnosis and it may sometimes differ from the one given in the leaflet. Depending on the indication, the drug can be administered at a specific dose (depending on the child's body weight) for 3 or 5 days. Administer this medicine as directed by your doctor.
If necessary, you can make an appointment for a teleconsultation with a doctor (in Polish):
